       "A few more fixes for ftrace infrastructure.
      
        I was cleaning out my INBOX and found two fixes from zhangwei from a
        year ago that were lost in my mail.  These fix an inconsistency
        between trace_puts() and the way trace_printk() works.  The reason
        this is important to fix is because when trace_printk() doesn't have
        any arguments, it turns into a trace_puts().  Not being able to enable
        a stack trace against trace_printk() because it does not have any
        arguments is quite confusing.  Also, the fix is rather trivial and low
        risk.
      
        While porting some changes to PowerPC I discovered that it still has
        the function graph tracer filter bug that if you also enable stack
        tracing the function graph tracer filter is ignored.  I fixed that up.
      
        Finally, Martin Lau, fixed a bug that would cause readers of the
        ftrace ring buffer to block forever even though it was suppose to be
        NONBLOCK"
      
      This also includes the fix from an earlier pull request:
      
       "Oleg Nesterov fixed a memory leak that happens if a user creates a
        tracing instance, sets up a filter in an event, and then removes that
        instance.  The filter allocates memory that is never freed when the

      ring-buffer: Fix polling on trace_pipe · 97b8ee84
      Martin Lau authored
      ring_buffer_poll_wait() should always put the poll_table to its wait_queue
      even there is immediate data available.  Otherwise, the following epoll and
      read sequence will eventually hang forever:
      
      1. Put some data to make the trace_pipe ring_buffer read ready first
      2. epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, trace_pipe_fd, ee)
      3. epoll_wait()
      4. read(trace_pipe_fd) till EAGAIN
      5. Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer
      6. epoll_wait() -> this epoll_wait() will block forever
      
      ~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2,
        ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table,
        which has poll_table->_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its
        wait_queue.
      ~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6,
        ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue
        because the poll_table->_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works.
      ~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know
        it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue.
        Hence, block forever.
      
      Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very
      first thing to do.  For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.

      tracing: Fix graph tracer with stack tracer on other archs · 5f8bf2d2
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      Running my ftrace tests on PowerPC, it failed the test that checks
      if function_graph tracer is affected by the stack tracer. It was.
      Looking into this, I found that the update_function_graph_func()
      must be called even if the trampoline function is not changed.
      This is because archs like PowerPC do not support ftrace_ops being
      passed by assembly and instead uses a helper function (what the
      trampoline function points to). Since this function is not changed
      even when multiple ftrace_ops are added to the code, the test that
      falls out before calling update_function_graph_func() will miss that
      the update must still be done.
      
      Call update_function_graph_function() for all calls to
      update_ftrace_function()

      Currently trace option stacktrace is not applicable for

      in __trace_puts/__trace_bputs ftrace_trace_stack is missing.
      
      In contrast, when using trace_printk with non constant string
      argument(will call into __trace_printk/__trace_bprintk), then
      trace option stacktrace is workable, this inconstant result
      will confuses users a lot.

      ALSA: hda - Fix broken PM due to incomplete i915 initialization · 4da63c6f
      Takashi Iwai authored
      When the initialization of Intel HDMI controller fails due to missing
      i915 kernel symbols (e.g. HD-audio is built in while i915 is module),
      the driver discontinues the probe.  However, since the probe was done
      asynchronously, the driver object still remains, thus the relevant PM
      ops are still called at suspend/resume. This results in the bad access
      to the incomplete audio card object, eventually leads to Oops or stall
      at PM.
      
      This patch adds the missing checks of chip->init_failed flag at each
      PM callback in order to fix the problem above.

      The l2tp [get|set]sockopt() code has fallen back to the UDP functions

      never actually worked, since the l2tp socket isn't an inet socket.
      
      As David Miller points out:
      
        "If we wanted this to work, it'd have to look up the tunnel and then
         use tunnel->sk, but I wonder how useful that would be"
      
      Since this can never have worked so nobody could possibly have depended
      on that functionality, just remove the broken code and return -EINVAL.

      net: ppp: don't call sk_chk_filter twice · 3916a319
      Christoph Schulz authored
      Commit 568f194e ("net: ppp: use
      sk_unattached_filter api") causes sk_chk_filter() to be called twice when
      setting a PPP pass or active filter. This applies to both the generic PPP
      subsystem implemented by drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c and the ISDN PPP
      subsystem implemented by drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_ppp.c. The first call is from
      within get_filter(). The second one is through the call chain
      
        ppp_ioctl() or isdn_ppp_ioctl()
        --> sk_unattached_filter_create()
            --> __sk_prepare_filter()
                --> sk_chk_filter()
      
      The first call from within get_filter() should be deleted as get_filter() is
      called just before calling sk_unattached_filter_create() later on, which
      eventually calls sk_chk_filter() anyway.
      
      For 3.15.x, this proposed change is a bugfix rather than a pure optimization as
      in that branch, sk_chk_filter() may replace filter codes by other codes which
      are not recognized when executing sk_chk_filter() a second time. So with
      3.15.x, if sk_chk_filter() is called twice, the second invocation may yield
      EINVAL (this depends on the filter codes found in the filter to be set, but
      because the replacement is done for frequently used codes, this is almost
      always the case). The net effect is that setting pass and/or active PPP filters
      does not work anymore, since sk_unattached_filter_create() always returns

      Napi id was not marked for gro_skb, this will lead rx busy loop won't
      work correctly since they stack never try to call low latency receive
      method because of a zero socket napi id. Fix this by marking napi id

      net: pppoe: use correct channel MTU when using Multilink PPP · a8a3e41c
      Christoph Schulz authored
      The PPP channel MTU is used with Multilink PPP when ppp_mp_explode() (see
      ppp_generic module) tries to determine how big a fragment might be. According
      to RFC 1661, the MTU excludes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, see the
      corresponding comment and code in ppp_mp_explode():
      
      		/*
      		 * hdrlen includes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, but the
      		 * MTU counts only the payload excluding the protocol field.
      		 * (RFC1661 Section 2)
      		 */
      		mtu = pch->chan->mtu - (hdrlen - 2);
      
      However, the pppoe module *does* include the PPP protocol field in the channel
      MTU, which is wrong as it causes the PPP payload to be 1-2 bytes too big under
      certain circumstances (one byte if PPP protocol compression is used, two
      otherwise), causing the generated Ethernet packets to be dropped. So the pppoe
      module has to subtract two bytes from the channel MTU. This error only
      manifests itself when using Multilink PPP, as otherwise the channel MTU is not
      used anywhere.
      
      In the following, I will describe how to reproduce this bug. We configure two
      pppd instances for multilink PPP over two PPPoE links, say eth2 and eth3, with
      a MTU of 1492 bytes for each link and a MRRU of 2976 bytes. (This MRRU is
      computed by adding the two link MTUs and subtracting the MP header twice, which
      is 4 bytes long.) The necessary pppd statements on both sides are "multilink
      mtu 1492 mru 1492 mrru 2976". On the client side, we additionally need "plugin
      rp-pppoe.so eth2" and "plugin rp-pppoe.so eth3", respectively; on the server
      side, we additionally need to start two pppoe-server instances to be able to
      establish two PPPoE sessions, one over eth2 and one over eth3. We set the MTU
      of the PPP network interface to the MRRU (2976) on both sides of the connection
      in order to make use of the higher bandwidth. (If we didn't do that, IP
      fragmentation would kick in, which we want to avoid.)
      
      Now we send a ICMPv4 echo request with a payload of 2948 bytes from client to
      server over the PPP link. This results in the following network packet:
      
         2948 (echo payload)
       +    8 (ICMPv4 header)
       +   20 (IPv4 header)
      ---------------------
         2976 (PPP payload)
      
      These 2976 bytes do not exceed the MTU of the PPP network interface, so the
      IP packet is not fragmented. Now the multilink PPP code in ppp_mp_explode()
      prepends one protocol byte (0x21 for IPv4), making the packet one byte bigger
      than the negotiated MRRU. So this packet would have to be divided in three
      fragments. But this does not happen as each link MTU is assumed to be two bytes
      larger. So this packet is diveded into two fragments only, one of size 1489 and
      one of size 1488. Now we have for that bigger fragment:
      
         1489 (PPP payload)
       +    4 (MP header)
       +    2 (PPP protocol field for the MP payload (0x3d))
       +    6 (PPPoE header)
      --------------------------
         1501 (Ethernet payload)
      
      This packet exceeds the link MTU and is discarded.
      
      If one configures the link MTU on the client side to 1501, one can see the
      discarded Ethernet frames with tcpdump running on the client. A
      
      ping -s 2948 -c 1 192.168.15.254
      
      leads to the smaller fragment that is correctly received on the server side:
      
      (tcpdump -vvvne -i eth3 pppoes and ppp proto 0x3d)
      52:54:00:ad:87:fd > 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
        length 1514: PPPoE  [ses 0x3] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000,
        Flags [end], length 1492
      
      and to the bigger fragment that is not received on the server side:
      
      (tcpdump -vvvne -i eth2 pppoes and ppp proto 0x3d)
      52:54:00:70:9e:89 > 52:54:00:5d:6f:b0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
        length 1515: PPPoE  [ses 0x5] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1495: seq 0x000,
        Flags [begin], length 1493
      
      With the patch below, we correctly obtain three fragments:
      
      52:54:00:ad:87:fd > 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
        length 1514: PPPoE  [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000,
        Flags [begin], length 1492
      52:54:00:70:9e:89 > 52:54:00:5d:6f:b0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
        length 1514: PPPoE  [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000,
        Flags [none], length 1492
      52:54:00:ad:87:fd > 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
        length 27: PPPoE  [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 7: seq 0x000,
        Flags [end], length 5
      
      And the ICMPv4 echo request is successfully received at the server side:
      
      IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 21925, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1),
        length 2976)
          192.168.222.2 > 192.168.15.254: ICMP echo request, id 30530, seq 0,
            length 2956
      
      The bug was introduced in commit c9aa6895
      ("[PPPOE]: Advertise PPPoE MTU") from the very beginning. This patch applies
      to 3.10 upwards but the fix can be applied (with minor modifications) to
      kernels as old as 2.6.32.

      neigh: sysctl - simplify address calculation of gc_* variables · 9ecf07a1
      Mathias Krause authored
      The code in neigh_sysctl_register() relies on a specific layout of
      struct neigh_table, namely that the 'gc_*' variables are directly
      following the 'parms' member in a specific order. The code, though,
      expresses this in the most ugly way.
      
      Get rid of the ugly casts and use the 'tbl' pointer to get a handle to
      the table. This way we can refer to the 'gc_*' variables directly.
      
      Similarly seen in the grsecurity patch, written by Brad Spengler.
